We stayed at the Erguvan for a long weekend mid-July. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful, and the cleaners did a fantastic job everyday. The location is very good, only a 5 minute walk from the Blue Mosque and a fantastic artisan market. The views from the roof terrace were fantastic. The outdoor restaurant slightly up... more

I traveled to Istanbul for the first time in May 2008 with three old friends. We are all well traveled and have a critical eye for service and accommodation. Erguvan Hotel was perfect! The staff were amazing.....so helpful with dinner reservations, directions, taxis. Overall service was on par with the Four Seasons and at a fraction of the cost. Complimentary... more

The Erguvan is an excellent small, boutique hotel with a fantastic location in a wonderful city. Very, very clean (bathrooms and linens were immaculate). Lovely decor (even the tiles in the bathroom were unique!) and very efficient and friendly service. Rooftop restaurant adds to great ambiance of hotel. The Erguvan is a top rate hotel all the way--at a price... more

I spent a week at the Hotel Erguvan in Istanbul. I travel around the world and this hotel has a lot special features. First, the staff is exceptional in helping and friendly. English is not a problem. The breakfast is on a scenic terrace overlooking the Sea and the Blue Mosque. The Hotel is situated within easy walking of all... more

We stayed in Hotel Erguvan for 2 weeks for our honeymoon in July 2006. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful and made you feel at home. It's in a convenient location with several restaurants around and a convenient store right across (great for buying water!). You can hear the call for prayer every morning and people selling in... more

A decent hotel, staff is courteous. Rooms are nice, bathrooms are good and clean. Beware of noise - sound insulation between rooms is not great, outside is noisy. Outside noise actually gives the authenticity of being in a MidEastern country. But it is still noisy :-) WiFi internet is available in rooms but is unbelievably slow!!! more

This hotel is very well situated for the sites around Sultanahmet two minutes from the hhippodrome and the blue mosque close to the metro to other parts of the city. I was in rm 13 which was small but clean the only problem was that it was very stuffy and if you opened the double glazed window it was a... more

This is a homely hotel, set right at the old Hippodrome wall. Close to the Blue Mosque and other central attractions. Don't expect 4star, but clean and pleasant, and staff attentive. Advertised as full air-con but no cooling, just heating, so presumably could get stuffy in the height of summer. Free wifi is great. One internet-connected pc in lounge. Breakfast... more

We have just returned from a week's holiday in Istanbul, staying at the Erguvan Hotel during snow and sleet. This hotel was a little warm haven to return to after chilly days exploring marble mosques and palaces. (yes, mad time to go but not so crowded) The location is just brilliant, literally a two minute walk round the corner to... more
